‘As a guy in my late 40s, I honestly just like something that the person has thought of.
‘A bottle of booze that you really enjoy that maybe I haven’t tried, a good book that meant something to you, a tool of some sort that you found insanely useful, hell even a gift card to a really low key and little known eatery or show bar is great.
‘I don’t really need the person to predict me and what I want. A gift that shares something meaningful of them is always super appreciated.’

‘30-40M here – my amazon wishlist (after my other half’s mother insisted on me making one) is tools for my hobby (silversmithing), books, and a pokemon game. There would probably be whiskey too if I didn’t already have a lot of whiskey currently, so I vetoed that for christmas presents – but otherwise, a preferential drink is an option too.
‘We men are, generally, simple creatures. We also often appreciate socks unironically, because it means we don’t have to buy new socks ourselves.’

‘I got my spouse a lock picking kit last year with picks and keys and I bought various padlocks. They love it because you can sit on the sofa and watch tv while trying easy ones or sit in silence at the table with a bright light trying the hard ones and it is vaguely practical.’
